Packed full of nostalgia-inducing piers and amusement parks, Galveston is the perfect place to spend a day reliving your childhood. But that's not all this island city has to offer! If you're looking for a break from the bright lights of Galveston's land-based offerings, then get ready to take advantage of a truly Texan tradition: hooking your very own tasty Flatfish! Flounder fishing in Galveston is something that simply should not be missed. Year after year, hardened anglers and tourists alike flock here to target this tasty species, which can be found in abundance. Why not join them?
Which charter is right for me?
Thanks to its delicious eating properties, and the fact that it reaches seriously huge sizes, Flounder has become a Galveston fishing staple – and you’ll find plenty of charters on offer. There’s also the famous Texan tradition of Flounder gigging to consider. So how do you pick your perfect fishing trip?
Still discovering your sea legs
If you’re new to the world of angling, or are still getting used to being out on the water, then Flounder fishing will fit the bill perfectly.
This species loves to inhabit the soft, sandy bottoms of Galveston’s shallow waters, so a four-hour trip or six-hour trip both allow plenty of opportunity to hook your own Flatfish. You’ll also spend less time traveling, and won’t be at the mercy of choppy, deeper waters.
Traveling with the family? Galveston charters are hugely child-friendly, and the majority of captains love giving beginners a crash-course in Flounder fishing!
For the Flounder fishing fanatic
If you’ve traveled to Galveston purely because of its reputation for incredible Flounder fishing, then there’s only one option to consider: gigging. With access to bays, shallow shorelines, and grassy flats, this is the perfect location to try out this Texan technique, which involves spotting and “spiking” your Flounder with a spear.
Plenty of charters in Galveston are geared toward gigging for Flounder and offer specialized trips. Although it’s possible to find daytime trips, gigging generally takes place at night. This is when the bite is best, and you can catch your Flounder unawares!
Although gigging is an exciting option for more experienced anglers, it’s also completely family-friendly, too. The majority of charters are suitable for newbies, and you’ll be taught just how to wield that spear!
What should I bring?
Like the rest of the state, charters in Galveston generally do not provide fishing licenses, so you’ll have to purchase your own beforehand. This can be done online, or at one of the city’s many bait and tackle shops.
When it comes to fishing gear, you usually won’t have to worry – the majority of charters will make sure you’re “hooked up” with rods, reels, tackle, and everything else you need for a fun day on the water. Yes, this also includes gigging equipment! What are you waiting for? Come experience the bright lights of Galveston, and hook your very own Flounder!

Book a private charter. A tad more expensive but way worth the experience. What a blast during the fall season.

If you think you might get seasick, take your motion sickness medication at least 30 minutes before boarding. My (adult) son found this out the hard way.

Ask questions about the charter, such as do you fish or the captian. The charter I was on the crew cast the poles, set the hook and you just realed the fish in. Not what a seasoned fisherman really wants.

By all means, book with a friendly, knowledgeable guide like Rene. He does all he can do to get you to where the fish hang out. Local reefs and honey holes are hard to find. Learn the basics from a Pro!

We all got to catch a fish. They were mostly small and we threw them back so it was for fun more than it was for dinner. Keep that in mind but it was absolutely perfect for my family.

Seems like common sense but make sure you have sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, dont have your phone where it could fall in the water, and listen to the captain ?
